The Great Global Warming Swindle

On Thursday 8 March at 9pm GMT British Channel 4 will screen a new controversial documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle". The film's main argument is simple - Global Warming has become such powerful political force that alternative views and explanations are suppressed.

The film hears from a number of prominent scientists that dispute the link between CO2 and climate. It also looks at the impacts of CO2 restrictions on the world's poorest people. This wonderful quote comes from James Shikwati, Kenyan director of the Inter Region Economic Network:
"The rich countries can afford to engage in some luxurious experimentation with other forms of energy, but for us we are still at the stage of survival.I don't see how a solar panel is going to power a steel industry, how a solar panel is going to power a railway network, it might work, maybe, to power a small transistor radio."

I admire Channel 4 for having the guts to commission such bold documentary. I have no doubt that it will be smeared by the AGW proponents. Despite the repetitive cries of debate being over, the real debate on Global Warming is just beginning. Channel 4's film must be applauded for questioning the dogma.
